You set the tone at the very start and it is difficult to change later. THJ was not Donnies move, that is the whole point. Even if it was others who instructed Harrison it was not Donnie who made it.
Where did I say spot shouldn't be filled? Not spending cap space is not the only form of flexibility. Shorter term contracts, young players with upside and similar are much contracts that provide much more flexibility. Mavs locked themselves into the team that is not good enough and so far it looks they will just continue on the jurney. I hope I will be pleasantly surprised.
You are preaching to the choir in the second paragraph. I spend months outlining ways to use cap space last spring. But alas, they didn’t listen.
The point I’ve tried to make is you are assigning blame to Nico and you can’t possibly know if he deserves it or not. In fact, given the timing and history of the position, I think it is highly unlikely he wasn’t driving the bus at the time. Whether he eventually takes command or not is immaterial to the point I was making.
